Famed Los Angeles rock band EELS has blasted a new, cogent track into the sonic airwaves. TItled “Amateur Hour”, the song is from the group’s upcoming album titled ‘Extreme Witchcraft’, which is due out January 28 via PIAS/E Works Records. The upcoming album marks the band’s 14th studio album.
‘Extreme Witchcraft’ marks EELS songwriter and frontman E (aka Mark Oliver Everett’s) first collaboration with guitarist John Parish and producer PJ Harvey since the band’s trendsetting 2001 album ‘Souljacker’.
“John Parish is one of the most even-tempered, polite people I’ve ever met. A true gentleman. Actually, he’s probably THE most polite person I’ve ever met. But when he gets into the studio he becomes a mad scientist. If you make music with John Parish, you get stuff no one else does. He has a really unique toolbox and musical outlook. Perhaps his politeness is a coping mechanism to keep Mr. Hyde under control when he’s out of his laboratory” says E.
